Dele Alli wasn't happy about being substituted during Tottenham Hotspur's 1-0 defeat at home to RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League last 16 on Wednesday night.

Alli didn't enjoy the game, but Timo Werner did. Leipzig's attacking talisman stroked home a 58th-minute penalty to give the visitors a priceless away goal. It was the signature moment of a performance that would have encouraged the clubs rumoured to be keen on signing Werner to solidify their interest this summer.

Big clubs may be watching Werner, but the European elite's choice to overlook Josip Ilicic has been Atalanta's gain.
